@rightOFright76 No kidding! Pretty impressive how it seems to clear up every evening. Pretty sure the rain will stop here soon!

Oh Schumer, we can see right through this BULLSHIT...
After @elonmusk proposed to pay the TSA workers, all the guards dropped off?

You're probably expecting your low information voters to think that you could bring a motion to the floor for a bill that's not standalone and twist a narrative that the Republicans are "blocking" the bill?

Don't worry, on X, we got you covered. We will call you out.

I won't be surprised if President Trump is behind this strategy.. 🤔

Since I can chew gum and walk at the same time, let me educate the voters.

To open with, what Chuckey is trying to do is IMPOSSIBLE unless he's a magician.

Under Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution (the Origination Clause) and over two centuries of congressional precedent, all appropriations and spending bills - including funding for agencies like the TSA - must originate in the House of Representatives, not the Senate.

Chuck Schumer, as Senate Democratic Leader, cannot unilaterally “bring a motion to the floor to FULLY FUND TSA” as a standalone bill; the Senate can only amend or vote on legislation that has already passed the House.

Republicans in the House have already passed multiple clean bills to fund the entire Department of Homeland Security (including TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and ICE), yet Senate Democrats have blocked them, turning the impasse into political theater rather than a workable funding solution.

Schumer’s announcement is therefore procedurally impossible and designed purely to force an on-the-record vote while dodging responsibility for the broader shutdown his party helped create.

Now X, do your thing.....

@ClayTravis Totally agree Clay! The hidden gem was exposed during the Covid!

@JDVanceNewsX Hell yes!

Dear middle class Americans,

When Democrats were in power, they passed laws to make you report your $600 Venmo transactions and hired 87,000 IRS agents to hunt you down

When Republicans are in power, they passed laws so that you have No Tax on Tips and No Tax on Overtime

I hope you wake up and realize that the Democrat party hates you, and Republicans want you to succeed

@ironpigsmoke While I served in the Guard I knew many other members from costal states. They trained for disaster relief every couple years. To my knowledge, it is an afterthought in Michigan. I think the focus of the Guard is being a warfighter, not the community or disaster relief.

@VetSalutes Basra area. A thermometer would peg out to 120 within a minute setting on any surface. It felt like the initial air hitting you in the face after opening a preheated oven most days….

The Whitmer-Media Alliance Has Fallen

Your media covered for Whitmer during her Covid hypocrisy, and now they are homeless

By James Dickson (@downi75)

When you say it out loud, it’s a wonder we ever believed any of it.

Bridge Michigan tells us Covid was a lot less deadly than we were sold in 2020.

Mike Wilkinson reports: “Michigan officials in October corrected an accounting error that led to the underreporting of 200,000 COVID-19 cases since 2020. During the omicron wave in 2021 and 2022, weekly case counts were 25% to 30% higher than what was reported at the time.”

The “Covid numbers” were always fake, that is to say. Remember how news websites in Michigan ran daily updates of the “Covid numbers,” based on state data? Those were always an undercount. Deaths were all-inclusive of anyone who had Covid, or was assumed to have it. But case counts were always much less than we knew, or could have known.

Let’s think this through. These 200,000 cases the state admits to are just the beginning. How many people, like myself, got the virus but were never tested? Or took at-home tests that don’t reflect in the state data? How many people got the virus and never knew it?

The more cases of Covid, the less deadly Covid was per capita. It’s safe to say this four years later, with Gretchen Whitmer’s presidential aspirations brought low and the governor reduced to something between a lame duck and an abortion influencer.

But Covid and the image of a dangerous global virus was useful back then. They were tools used to seek regime change, to foster an impression that Donald Trump had left America vulnerable. Pandemic panic was good for Democrats like Whitmer, and it was good for the media that covers her.

What looked to be a partnership back then was actually mutually assured destruction, with a four-year timer.

Whitmer declared a state of emergency with just two cases in Michigan—but made sure she waited until the Democratic presidential primary was decided.

Whitmer said the virus was deadly, and required us to either stay home or stand six feet apart. Then she traveled to Highland Park to march arm-in-arm with Black Lives Matter.

Whitmer said Florida was a hotbed for Covid, then flew to Florida to see her father. Then her health director, Elizabeth Hertel, vacationed there.

Whitmer said travel was dangerous, then flew her daughters to Joe Biden’s inauguration at the height of Covid deaths.

Whitmer said we couldn’t push tables together at a restaurant, then pushed tables together at a Lansing restaurant. When she was caught on camera, she scrapped the rule.

By word, Whitmer was treating Covid as a deadly global virus. By deed, Whitmer was telling you that you’ll be fine, probably, if you’re not already old or sick.

Whitmer said we should upturn our lives and livelihoods to save grandma, then put sick old people into the nursing home with grandma.

Theoretical grandma deserved every sacrifice we could make, every suffering we could bear.

Actual grandma was left afraid and alone, not seeing as much as a smile in her last days. No love. No touch. No familiar faces. We were all in this together, so grandma must die alone.

Your media did not ask questions during Covid.

Rather than cover Whitmer, they covered for her. Rather than question how one woman could scrap our state constitution, and the checks-and-balances of government, the media became Whitmer’s amen corner.

They treated defenders of the constitution as sexists who couldn’t stomach female leadership.

They waited in line for their pre-written questions to be answered, maybe, on the governor’s Zoom call.

They explained the governor rather than question her. And in that moment, it seemed to work. For everybody. With a captive audience, they saw record-high numbers, and Whitmer was That Woman from Michigan—a president in the making, possibly.

Four years later, the Whitmer-media alliance has failed. Whitmer’s memoir did not launch her to the A-list of possible replacements for Biden. Instead, it relegated her to the B-team. While Kamala Harris was efforting a loss, Whitmer was in bars and on party buses, supposedly doing her part to help.

But the Dorito Communion video didn’t help. Trump won Michigan, and Republicans took the House. Whitmer’s influence wasn’t strong enough to push a family friend, Curtis Hertel Jr., to victory in a Lansing-area seat.

The Whitmer era is over. And the Lansing media has never been less relevant.

While Whitmer takes selfies and tries to win social media accolades, Michigan’s flagship newspapers are homeless. They were last seen begging for dimes.

Turns out, Whitmer and the media really were in it together. The way Thelma & Louise were in the car together.

Hear me out….

1. Trump should appoint Thune to be US Ambassador to Ukraine.

2. Backfill his senate seat with a MAGA patriot.

3. Fire Thune!

Problem solved.

[Jason Killoran @KilloranJason]

@ChrisBarberi Agreed!
